WHEN GOD IS NUEUTRAL
Memorise: For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrew
12:29
Read: Romans 12:19-21; Bible in one year: Joshua
10:29-13:7; Job 36:5-16
When you hand over someone to God and you ask Him to
judge the matter, you have handed the person over to the One the Bible refers
to as the Righteous Judge, He does so righteously. He does not only judge
actions, He judges motives also. When God judges, He takes into consideration
all the facts that you do not know about. Proverbs 20:22 advises that when
someone offends you, do not seek to revenge. Rather, wait on the Lord and let Him handle the situation.
When God decides to fight against them. In Numbers 23:17-25, we read the episode
of Balak against the children of Israel. When God decided to fight
against Israel,
twenty-four thousand and them died in one day (Numbers 25:1-9). If you go into
sin, you may suddenly find God fighting against you.
God can also be neutral. He can watch you as you fight
your enemy on your own. If God takes this position, you can be sure that the
fight will not last long, and the outcome will be defeat. In Joshua 6:20-27,
when God was fighting for Israel,
Jericho was
taken with just a shout. However, when they later fought against a small city
called Ai, they were defeated because God was not with them then as a result of
their disobedience (Joshua 7:3-5). Another set of people that God can take a
neutral outlook on are the proud. God is interested in seeing how far their
pride can take them. James 4:6 says:
“But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”
The proud usually lose in the battle of life. Pride
leads to the demotion of the individual involved.
I do not want God to fight me, neither do I want Him
to be neutral concerning my case.
Rather, I desire Him to always be on my side. Exodus 15:9-10 says:
“The enemy said, I will
pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied
upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow
with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.”
Just make sure you trust God. Hand over all your
challenges to Him. You will be amazed at how He will bring to pass all you have
asked Him. Turn to the side of God, for there is no other place to turn to where
victory is assured. Hold onto God, and
eventually, you will be triumphant.
Prayer Point
Father, do not be neutral in any aspect of my life.
